Have you ever been involved with a cult

Cult is generally used for groups that are exploitative and controlling. Modern Christianity for the most part doesn't fit that. Catholicism is closer than Anglicanism but neither are very exploitative and Catholicism is only somewhat controlling.

I feel like Mormons fit that description.

Samus - Mormons also consider themselves christians...

I know. Doesn't really change a thing. It just goes to show that only small groups are considered cults. If Catholicism wasn't as big they'd be considered a cult for sure.

 

Not all cults are bad per se anyway.

@Rath: Catholicism was exploitative and very controlling during the middle ages, early modern era and also a huge part of whatever time comes next. Far worse then a normal cult.
